Yeah that's for the roll tilt. A smaller pinball goes in the rail and rolls in the track. If someone tries to pick the game up from the front, the ball rolls back, hits the switch and resets the game (like a slam tilt). You can leave it disconnected, but I'd solder it back as I don't like random wires flopping around as it could accidentally touch a coil lug and send power to the switch matrix and destroy the MPU.
You need to add the tilt bob to your tilt at the lower right though.
Yikes! That was my thought too, I don't like a random loose wire floating in there. I wonder if the previous owner had issues with it and just disconnected it rather than trying to troubleshoot. I'm hoping I have an extra tilt bob and clip sitting around. If not, I'll get one from PBR.
Thank you for the quick help!
